Hi,

I'm currently playing Pokemon Platinum on DeSmuMe.

When I try to cross the bridge on route 205 after deafeating all enemies at the ValleyWindworks, the game freezes.

How should I go about trying to fix this?

    Stop using hacked roms or save file hackers. Ive never heard about pokemon platinum freezing, except when people are hacking it.

    I'm not using any hacks or cheats.

    I am saving my game with the save state instead of saving it in-game, could this be the reason?

      That's typically a reason, but like i said, you'd be the first person I've ever heard of with this problem in pokemon platinum, so I'm doubtful. Maybe you just found a bug in the game. Just save in-game and reset and you should be able to proceed

    It kept on happening, so I just started playing Diamond instead (without saving through desmume, just through the actual game). I'll be interested to see if the same thing happens.

    I think it's a freak accident and you found a bug in the game. Odds of it happening in another playthrough or game are slim. One last thing you could try is using another desmume version though. Maybe you're using a 10 years old version, who knows?

    I also have a similar issue.. Everytime I get to the top of Mt. Coronet and Cyrus is about to summon the dragons my Desmume just stops working... Is it possible I need to fix my 3D settings?

      Fixing your 3d settings won't affect anything. Stop using savestates. Save in-game and reset. If that doesnt fix it, post the .dsv with the in-game save immediately before the event that freezes

      config > display method, or change 3d renderer frmo opengl to softrasterizer (your GPU or drivers have become broken)

      seriously? in the time it took you to type that, you could have tried all the options.
      you can confirm that these are the problems by booting another 3d game and checking whether it displays 3d.
      if other games display 3d then the problem is that your hacking (cheating, randomizing, etc) has broken your save file; or, that your security software or broken PC corrupted your save file. Hope you have backups. You should make regular backups of important documents.

        that was kind of a sh^tty response. he was just asking a genuine question and you didn't have to bully him just because you think you're an expert.

          He asked a genuinely stupid question about which of five options to choose.

    thats the thing, ive already attempted all of the desplay methods, my 3d rendering seems just fine and i can guarantee you that i havent even attempted to cheat, platinum is also the only game i have on this emulator and i doubt it has anything to do with my PC because it runs my other emulators just fine, and since i started using this emulators last night im afraid i dont have any backups :/

      You're using a modded pokemon. Mods have bugs. I don't have this modded game, and we don't support modded games.

    well it was working perfectly fine the day before, not a single issue, and for this mod specifically this is the launcher that is used for it so i doubt my mod is the problem, all the mod does is change the in-game sprites so i find it hard to believe it would cause my current issue

      1. "I'm not exactly the most technologically inclined"
      2. "I get to judge the manner in which video games modified by hackers are likely to malfunction"

      I find it easy to believe it causes your current issue.

      When I looked for "moemon platinum" i found a modded warezed rom, not a launcher.

    alright but this is coming off from a hunch, there's no guarantee that its even the problem, i feel that if the mod was the problem then it would have crashed or i would have experienced some sort of technical issue as i was playing it yesterday, im also simply saying that when this mod is implemented that this is the launcher thats used for it, never said you'd find the launcher when looking for the mod, but lets say that the mod is the problem, how would i be able to fix it without removing the mod? because again the game runs just fine, everything works as intended up until i reach the save selection, thats when the game goes to black and i cant access it any further, i might not be very technological but i know how emulations and modding work to a certain extent :/

      The mod is broken. Stop using the mod.

      I just loaded your .dsv into an unmodded platinum.

      The way the world is set up, you have to figure that out on your own.
